Not too bad for the first day. Had a 1 one plus briefing by someone name Joshua and the safety officer. Settled some adminsitrative stuff, such as attendance and getting our access cards. The access cards are so cool...you need it wherever you go...like the name suggests, it enables one to access to some place.
Anyway,spent the morning discussing what I've read on cancer research, phase-2- enzymes, ARE regulated genes with my supervisor/ mentor, and also clearing my many doubts. We went into the project plan next. I'm going to find out the effects of ARE rehulated genes on cells...does it really prevent cancer by activating some pathways? sounds abstract? That's what I thought initially too. But, after discussing futher with my mentor, everything become clearer. And so, I went to search for more information on the cell I'll be working with. The SH-SY5Y cells, its culture medium and its morphology...
Lunch time at Soul Food Court. It's a food court, not a restaurant like Seoul Garden. Ate prata with chicken curry...the prata is really crispy, I must say.
After the bite, I went back the labs. Now that I'm full and energeised, it's time for me to start on real lab work...firstly, we got a lab coat for myself. Like someone said,:" One will not look scientific without a lab coat." And so, we got a lab coat for myself. It is whit and sort of a little too big for me...but, never mind all that. Next was the gloves. We've got a pair of gloves that fit nicely...small-size though...Being fully-geared, I really feel like a true researcher. We went to B2 to collect some solutions to be used for our culture today. Really feel like some doctor on housemanship wearing the lab coat and walking along the corridors of B2 which resembles some hospital. We cultured the sy5y cells after preparing the medium. And it is sitting in the incubator now! Tommorrow, I'll be able to see them. (To Lydia: If you would like some information on how to culture the cells, contact me personally) I think I'll stop here for the attachment, if not, my blog will become a scientific journal.

life is one big jigsaw puzzle.we start out with a few pieces given to us and we piece them together with the help of our family and friends.as we grow older, we have to find the missing pieces to fill up the gaps.sometimes we can't find the right pieces to fit in a gap, and even after many years of searching we still can't find it.there are some pieces that will never be found,so we just have to make do with whatever shape that best fits the gap.maybe it'll grow to fit the gap,maybe it won't.that's the whole idea of filling up those holes in our lives.if we can't find what we've been searching for,accept the closest one and let things be.it's better to look at one complete jigsaw puzzle than one with gaps in it.and it might amaze some of us that the jigsaw puzzle turns out prettier than it was intended to be with these odd pieces in it.

Tommorrow is the day!!! 16th Nov 2004!!! The day I've been looking forward to... The start of my A-star Research Programme at IMCB! I'm so excited, so much so that my heart is pumping so hard that it's going to stop working any moment. Ok, I'm just exggerating here...Anyway, it's a fact that I'm excited about it. I mean, who wouldn't be, when he/she is 1 out of about 200 students who got into the programme? What's more is that the 200 odd of us were selected out of hundreds of others who went for the interview. I'm not showing off that I got into the programme but I am just giving the reason as to why I'm so looking forward to it. It's seems like a long time since the interview in April...or was it May? Anyway, at that point of time, I wasn't sure that I would be selected. What's more get attached to IMCB, which is my first choice. I was even consoling myself that it would be better if I don't get in, cos, I've more time to revise my work. But now, I'm singing a different tune...I guess, that's human. Enough said about the research. Shall talk about it more tommorrow.
My brother and I were looking through some old old photographs yesterday. He found a few cute pictures of himself and was self-praising that night. I can't really believe that he's so "humble". But, the pictures are quite cute. (i must admit). He was even thinking of scanning those pictures and setting them as his msn display pictures. I think i shall put them in my blog some day. We also come across a few naked baby photos of my the other brother. The sec 3 one...we thought of blackmailing him...haha...can't accept the fact that we are still so childish. Anyway, i used to complain that my 2 younger brothers are irritating and immature...but it seems to me that they are quite ok now...I guess it's time. Or is it me? It seems to me that ever since I start junior college, they've all grown up. Maybe still childish, but they are not as mischievous as before. Maybe it's because of school...the long hours spent in school and on homework and studies...that forced us not to spend so much time together. In any case, we have all grown up...and i guess my parents admit that. They are very confident that if the three of us are alone at home, we will not fight and quarrel. I guess, everyone does grow up...it's just a matter of time...

Just read the newspaper and found an interesting piece of news that turn my tireness into interest and now, all I want to do is to say that "I'm so proud of St Margs'". Now, you may wonder why? The reason: Indonesian trade Minister Dr Mari Pangestu was a student at St Margs. Now, that got you excited...The article also mention that her name and photograhs can be found all over old school magazines. She was also the captain for the netball team, secretary of the career society and a member of the drama and debate society. She was also the top student for English and English Literature. She left the schoo with the top honour- the Dean Dumper Trophy. Well, her achievements are so many and great. What made me so proud is the fact that St Margs can actually mould students into future leaders and great people whom contribute to the society and whom can be our role model and someone whom we are proud of.
So, that's just what I read. I'm sure many others will be just like me;
This aside, I hearby announced that PW is offically over. We went to school at 9.30 today to arrange and pagimate our files for submission. After submitting the GPF, Ms Ong brief us about next year; who our new CT is and gave out progress report. She commented on our results and gave us some advice. When she gave mine to me, she asked, "So, how was the tea session with Mrs Lim?" Ha! To think she still remember that! All I can manage is a "Good". She wrote as part of the remark:"... 4 distictions next year." Sure, I'll work hard towards that.
Well, it's our class first BBQ today! At Rochelle's place. It was good. The food, the place, the atmosphere. Bascially, everything! Thanks Rochelle for opening her house to us. Now, I'm just so tired and drain out. Better catch my beauty sleep now!

Listen up, everyone! Shu Hui's secret to 4 As in exams!!! Interested? Read on! We asked Shu Hui for her secret to ace-ing in exams during choir today...and her answer? Sleep... Ha!!! She claimed that when we get enough sleep, our brains will be clearer and hence, what we have studied come freely and readily to our minds and hence, we will be able to do well...well, I hope that I'm like her...Better catch enough sleep...
Anyway, choir yesterday wasn't really choir...what I mean here is that we did not sing... Instead, we had sort of a heart-to-heart talk...I can't say it really is that, but I can't find a more suitable word, and so... Anyway, the com people asked for our opinion of the choir and our problems and suggestions that would benefit the choir...well, we were really honest and open in what we say...and that, I would say is good to a certain extent. We were really honest to the extent that we did not even hold back when we were critising some people...but it's constructive feedback, so well...
Altos is finally going on a outing...details have not been drawn out...but maybe it'll be steamboat at Joyce's house...so sweet of her to open her house to us...depending on the date and time, I may not be able to go, cos of the research attachment..Speaking of it, I'm really looking forward to it...I must make the best out of it and you know, have fun! It's going to be a busy holiday and yet I've so much incomplete homework, waiting for me to do...Wednesday; we are all going to school to hand in PW file, after which is class BBQ; Thursday; I'm going out with Lydia to do homework, this girl thought I'm crazy, but I really need to complete my homework before my attachment; Friday; It's going to be the extra long chemistry lecture... Oh my! I think I better get to bed and rest my brain and soul...I want to do well!

I think I'll keep this blog short and sweet. Afterall, I am all so tired and exhausted from today's Chinese and Biology Olympiad. My brain cells are dead; and soon I predict that I may be brain dead too.
Well, I guess Chinese was alright. I'll keep my fingers cross for the result.
And so, after Chinese, we met Miss Lee outside the hall and she brought us to NIE, NTU, where we were supposed to go for the Olympiad. So much for empowering us. Anyway, we set off and took the same bus and train as my mentor and jj. A pity that they did not join us. I think that they were going to jurong point for lunch. They've been saying that since op on tues. At Boon Lay Interchange, we took 199 to NIE, NTU. We were the first in the line. Soon, students from jj came. Shortly after, came rj, hc and ac. All of them had some notes in their hands. Some rj people were even carrying Campbell!!! The old edition, noted Allele. So scary!!!Well, we were not put off by that. At least Charmine and Mark were not. They were pretending that they had long studied and were, you know, revising. What crap! 199 came some time later and we board the bus. It was so packed. Most of them had to stand. Soon, we began our journey to NIE, NTU. As we did not eaten our lunch, we decided to stop at the cafe for a quick bite. Maybe it's because we had a teacher with us. Cos, when we alight, the rest followed suit. We climbed up this really long stairay to the cafe. It's called "Stairway to heaven". What a nice name. But nevertheless, it was really energy demanding to climb it. After a quick lunch of sandwiches, we went to the venue to take the paper. We were late by only 3 mins??! But we just miss out on the instructions part. We have two hours to complete Part A and B of the paper. There are 100 questions altogether. There are some of the questions which I think most of us will know, and at the same time, there are a few questions in which the terms used never existed in my dictionary! Well, I shall not elaborate further. I managed to complete both parts way efore the 2 hours, and my mind began to wander. I counted the number of lights in the large hall. 13X12, that is the number. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who counted. Charmine counted too. After the 2 hours, we had a 15 mins break and guess what, I saw Wanting! It's her birthday today! Happy Birthday! Anyway, after the short break, we went back to another gruelling 2 hours of another 100 questions again! This time, after completing the paper, I was already thinking of what to eat for dinner!
Eventually, we were dismissed. We walked to the bus-stop and waited for the bus. The first time we saw the bus, we were still debating whether it is a loop service or not. And we saw a bus-stop opposite and thought maybe it was not. So, we did not board it. But it turns out that the bus-stop opposite is for the shuttlebus. And so, we waited for another bus. And when it came, it was so overcrowded that we could not even board it. Sadly and angrily, we had to wait for the third one. This time, we finally board the bus. But it was so filled with people that I thought I might suffocate to death should I alight any minute later.
Upon reaching Jurong point, I went to Life Bookshop and bought a book and then bought my dinner. I took a bus home. The journey was so long. But at least I get to sit. Now, I'm really tired. Need to rest and sleep. I thought I said that I would keep the blog short and sweet?

SAINTsational Fair 3
Went to St Margs funfair this morning with Lydia, Shamane and her two brothers...Lydia had $100 worth of tickets and kept on sponsering us food and games..Thanks girl! Well, we met at 9am and saw Aud at the entrance...She suggested going in together and we were like "Why not?" Besides, the more the merrier...Anyway, we first went to the parade square and saw the cheerleading girls...After that, we went to the cafe to enjoy the air- con and ordered food...We ordered one of everything and spent more than half an hour there, after which we went to play games...well, it was actually Shamane's brothers who played the most and helped Lydia to collect tokens so that she can exchange something for Pam and Pris...so, there we went playing games...There is also this SAINTsational Draw thing on the ticket...so, we detach it and gave it to Pastor Fuman who kindly agreed to help us put the it into the box...As we were not going to stay for long, we told him that he can have the prize if the number was called. After exchanging for a toy to give to the twins, we went to the canteen and tried to use up our coupons on food...we bought all kinds of rubbish...from brownies, sweets, candy floss and chicken wings...we then realised that we did not give Pastor Fuman the ticket so that he can collect the prize if the number was called.So, Aud and I went around the school looking for him...From St John's Chapel to the cafe. We were about to give up the search when we saw him at the parade square. We quickly ran to him and gave him the ticket. He was quite surprised and said: "I thought you all left already. How come you are still here?" Anyway, we went back to the canteen where Lydia and Shamane were. We saw Uncle Stan and chatted with him...he was still the good, old uncle stan who look as jovial as before...He did not look like he's a day older since I graduated...the same goes to major...I'm touched that he will remember us and came to talk to us in the cafe. I really miss the good, old st margs days...although we had a lot of assignments and tests, but, we knew that we can always count on one another's encouragements and prayers...That precious 4 years will always occupy a significant place in my heart...

I will never forget
It has only been a short time
A really brief, memorable 8 months
I will never forget.
I guess it must be really challenging for you to teach us
A class who is reserved during lessons but is the exact opposite during breaks
I guess it must be difficult for you to teach us
A class who is so lifeless, so apathetic
I guess you must be upset
To see all the Os, Es and Fs
But I hope despite all these,
You have derive some satisfaction from teaching us
Transforming us
Our class once so lifeless
Now no longer so
Our grades will hopefully
Be turned into As by next year
It was you who constantly nag at us
All the naggings and pep talks
I will never forget.
Thank you for coming into my life.
God Bless you wherever you go.

The greatest pain in life
is not to die, but to be ignored.
To lose the person you love so
much to another who doesn't care at all.
To have someone you care so about so much throw a party...
and not tell you about it.
When your favorite person on earth
neglects to invite you to his graduation.
To have people think that you don't care.
The greatest pain in life,
is not to die,
but to be forgotten.
To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
To never get a call from a friend,
just saying "hi".
When you show someone your innermost thoughts and they laugh in your face.
For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need someone to lift your spirits.
When it seems like the only person who cares about you,
is you.
Life is full of pain,
but does it ever get better?
Will people ever care about each other,
and make time for those who are in need?
Each of us has a part to play
in this great show we call life.
Each of us has a duty to mankind
to tell our friends we love them.
If you do not care about your friends
you will not be punished.
You will simply be ignored...
forgotten...
as you have done to others.

The World’s Most Beautiful
I’d give anything to see the sun set on the horizon,
I’d do anything to gaze at a full moon in the night sky;
Even a rainbow would make me smile,
And I’d love to swim in crystal clear waters
Of an untouched sea;
Sometimes I’ll see a shooting star,
And try to gaze from afar,
All the diamonds in the night sky;
The mist on the mountains is breathtaking,
As is walking in rainforest;
To see cascading waterfalls I’d do anything for,
As to stand on the highest peak in the world,
And look at the sights below;
I’d love to soar on wings above the clouds,
Across the bluest skies;
I’d do anything to see
All the beautiful things in the world,
Like a red rose blooming in the Sahara,
Like a river twisting through a dusty land,
All the beautiful things in the world;
But I also know I am looking at
The world’s most beautiful creation,
Every time you smile,
And every time I look into your eyes.

SAJC Open House
Reached school at 9.50am to report for duty at the choir booth. Joyce called me last night to inform me to come in school uniform today. As I was too tired from looking at books, I did not bother to ask her the reason. But I found out today anyway. It turns out that the guy had it printed wrongly. What was supposed to be at the back was in front. *Sigh* Maybe some people had understanding prob or did they not make the instructions clear? Whatever it is, the guy had agreed to re-print the shirt. Back to today. It was weird going to the open house in sch uniform. Esp when everyone else is wearing t-shirt. Oh well, we sure did stand out.
We just started counter duty when we were told to go to AVA for practice. Well, we were very reluctant to go. Tending the booth is such a fun thing to do. No consumption of energy and brain cells, plus, you get to talk (to the sec 4s and to your other friends when they go past). But we went back anyway. Throughout the practice, pple came and left. The practices were not too bad. The only thing is that we just couldn't concentrate and couldn't stop moving and talking. In the end, we ended up repeating and repeating parts of the song until we have perfected it.
By the way, I think I have come to a decision for my inner struggle- whether to take S papers or not? After much consideration and discussing it with my friends, cousins, relatives and my parents (and even my 2 younger brothers), I think that I would take it. Most prob it's maths and chem...If i am rejected, then well, I have nothing to say. If I am successful in my application, well, i will surely do my best to cope and to do well in it. Should i not be able to cope, i can always drop it. Like what Lydia told me, I can decide not to sit for the paper even on the day of exam. No pressure, but it would be best if I can do well, and get into THE faculty of my choice.
Reached school at 9.50am to report for duty at the choir booth. Joyce called me last night to inform me to come in school uniform today. As I was too tired from looking at books, I did not bother to ask her the reason. But I found out today anyway. It turns out that the guy had it printed wrongly. What was supposed to be at the back was in front. *Sigh* Maybe some people had understanding prob or did they not make the instructions clear? Whatever it is, the guy had agreed to re-print the shirt. Back to today. It was weird going to the open house in sch uniform. Esp when everyone else is wearing t-shirt. Oh well, we sure did stand out.
We just started counter duty when we were told to go to AVA for practice. Well, we were very reluctant to go. Tending the booth is such a fun thing to do. No consumption of energy and brain cells, plus, you get to talk (to the sec 4s and to your other friends when they go past). But we went back anyway. Throughout the practice, pple came and left. The practices were not too bad. The only thing is that we just couldn't concentrate and couldn't stop moving and talking. In the end, we ended up repeating and repeating parts of the song until we have perfected it.
By the way, I think I have come to a decision for my inner struggle- whether to take S papers or not? After much consideration and discussing it with my friends, cousins, relatives and my parents (and even my 2 younger brothers), I think that I would take it. Most prob it's maths and chem...If i am rejected, then well, I have nothing to say. If I am successful in my application, well, i will surely do my best to cope and to do well in it. Should i not be able to cope, i can always drop it. Like what Lydia told me, I can decide not to sit for the paper even on the day of exam. No pressure, but it would be best if I can do well, and get into THE faculty of my choice.

Just chatted with Lydia on the phone...she started it first...she was the one who smsed me to ask about my promos results...oh well, promos results...
I guess I did quite fine this time round. At least better than common test. But I think that the papers were relatively easier too...
Besides talking about results, this earth watch pres also asked me if I'm free to go to St Margs funfair next Saturday...she has $100 worth of tickets...Imagine $100...and she did not even pay a single cent for it...apparently her lovely juniors gave them to her cos she's so fun-loving, sweet, blah, blah, blah...Anyway, it's a pity that I'm not free on that Saturday...if not, i will definetly help her to spend the money! Enough of all this crap, it's time that I start studying and preparing for my chinese exams which is coming real soon...and on the same day is Bio Olympiad...better prepare and do the school proud...

I've been wanting to write this entry for a long, long time...since last saturday...but i can't, cause someone may see it...and the supposed surprised will disappear...but i guess i can write it now, since her day is just tml and i guess it doesn't really matter if she finds out today? Now? i doubt she read this anyway...so, here it goes...Last Saturday, I went out with jie, gi and wei ti buy yuwen's pressie...we spent more time talking crap than thinking of what to get for her...and this time round, we spent a relatively shorter time to decide on what to buy...after we bought the pressie, we shopped around Paragon and basically chatted...and we even sat and enjoy a cup of road-side ice-cream...long time since we last did that...gi also revealed that she may be going overseas to study at the end of the year...whta's the surprise here? Everyone seems to be going overseas nowadays...just hope she enjoys studying there and remember us...all the best gi!

I just completed my pw meeting notes and finished typing the group evaluation... Everyone was late for pw yesterday...i ended up watching parts of the rehearsal for the music awards... and guess what? weiting and some others had form a band and they are going to perform...and i didn't know that until YESTERDAY! But that's not a big deal, i'm sure there are many others out there who may not even know until Monday itself...Anyway, i thought that they were good...and i didn't know (again) that Weiting can play the drums... and after yesterday, i thought playing the drums is cool and i'm going to learn how to play (or is it hit?)
After pw, i went out with my mum for lunch and i bought a new phone! At long last! Anyway, i am quite satisfied with the new phone i got and that it does not seem to matter that i'm the one paying for it...Luckily it's not very expensive...if not, my pocket is going to burn...better start saving...or should i get the money from my dad? He doesn't know that i have bought a new phone...but i guess he wouldn't mind since my old phone is really OLD!

Phew! Promos are finally over...I can now relax, watch all the shows I've missed and made up for the beauty sleep that I have lost...Wait, actually, no...I slept earlier during the exam period...10pm...is that earlier enough? I mean, I don't want to fall asleep when I'm doing my paper...That's logical isn't it? Well, today's going to be my pw day...we are going to meet in school and do all the things we need to do before submitting our files in...After pw, I'm meeting my mum and maybe I'll be getting a new phone today!!! I've been saying that for so long...since starting of the year? I don't know...but I'm so excited over it...can't wait for pw to be over...hopefully in a few hours time?
Now, my brother is so envious...his eyes are green with envy...he has maths paper today...while he was trying hard to memorise his formula last night, I was there watching tv...well, not that I inconsiderate...he did watch the show too and I think he laughed the loudest...and he thinks that being taller than his elder sis is a big deal...and that he can laugh at me and calls me his mei-mei...whenever he does that, I would rebut by saying "I have a gor-gor in SEC 1" and he will stop this nonsense...actually i think my brother is quite mature for his age...he is only sec 1 and he's studying, well, not very hard, but he managed to get decent grades so far...so unlike of the other brother who is now in sec 3...but doesn't study but sit in front of the computer playing who-knows-what silly games...what is really the point is that he is sitting for his 'O's next year and he doesn't seem to get his foundation firm...and he will not get it unless he sit down and concentrate on his studies...esp for his chinese... his chinese grades are always in the range of 20-something to 30-something... my dad even suggested him to take Malay instead...ha, you're right dad! Enough said about my two younger, irritating brothers... I can't keep on nagging at them...it isn't my job...it's my mum's job...but i guess they will soon realise that they will have to grow up one day and get on with life with the reality...

Informing God
Read: Psalm 139:1-6
Can anyone teach God knowledge? —Job 21:22
Bible In One Year: Ecclesiastes 1-3; 2 Corinthians 11:16-33
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We cannot tell God anything He doesn't already know. When we pray, we simply put into words what He's been aware of all along.
That doesn't make prayer unnecessary; rather, it encourages us to pray. We find relief in talking to Someone who knows us and our situation fully. It's a comfort to know that God's response arises not from information we give Him, but from His perfect knowledge of our circumstances. He knows all conditions—past, present, future—that bear on our well-being.
"Your Father knows," Jesus said in Matthew 6:8. He knows our thoughts, our intentions, our desires; He is intimately acquainted with all our ways (Psalm 139:3). He knows the anguish of our heart, the strain of continual frustration, the enemies inside and outside that war against our souls.
So, can we presume to dictate the time and terms of our deliverance from trials or adversity? Can we say our way is better, more likely to develop our soul? No, we cannot teach God anything. He alone knows the way to bring us to glory. Out of all possible paths, He has chosen the best, the route most adapted to who we are and what He has in store for us.
We cannot teach God knowledge, but we can love and trust Him. That's all He asks of us. —David Roper
The answer God may choose for me
Is sure to be the best,
So may I always thankful be,
And in His goodness rest. —D. De Haan
God knows the end from the beginning, so we can trust Him with everything between.

How do you spell the word JOY?? do you spell it like Y-O-J?O-J-Y?O-Y-J or J-O-Y?? by right you should spell it like J-O-Y..but there are people who spell it like the others......JOY stands for [J]esus ,[O]thers,[Y]ourself...which means you put Jesus first and think about others before yourself....and when you do that,you will have happiness...so cool right.that is why JOY stands for happiness...
Once there were many frogs who want to compete each other into who can climb the highest to the top of a tower,and so they went to arrange and stuff.
So on that day,there was a crowd where the frogs had their competition.They started off well but soon one by one started to fell. The crowd was like shouting nagative things to them ,like asking them to give up.So one by one they fell.But there was one frog who went on climbing despite the crowd and in the end,it reached the top.The crowd was very curious and finally, they asked the frog.It turned out that the forg was deaf.
You know,many of us are in the same boat as the other frogs,when we hear nagative things,we give up.Why not trying to be like the deaf frog and ignore whatever nagative things said,even if it is true,take it ,try to change.
that is all i have to say.

the barber, a customer and God
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists." "Why do you say that?" asked the customer."Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things." The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long,stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist." "How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside." "Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the barber. " What happens, is,people do not come to me. " "Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

like to have chocolate. (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)
3. Add 5. (for Sunday)
4. Multiply it by 50 I'll wait while you get the calculator................
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1754....
If you haven't, add 1753 ..........
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number .
The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many
times you want to have chocolate each week).

Your Existing Situation
Imaginative and sensitive; seeking an outlet for these qualities--especially in the company of someone equally sensitive. Interest and enthusiasm are readily aroused by the unusual or the adventurous.
Your Stress Sources
The situation is regarded as threatening or dangerous. Outraged by the thought that she will be unable to achieve her goals and distressed at the feeling of helplessness to remedy this. Over-extended and feels beset, possibly to the point of nervous prostration.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.
Circumstances are forcing her to compromise, to restrain her demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things she wants.
Feels that she is receiving less than her share and that there is no one on whom she can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions and a certain egocentricity make her quick to take offense, but she realizes that she has to make the best of things as they are.
Your Desired Objective
Seeks an affectionate relationship, offering fulfillment and happiness. Capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Helpful, and willing to adapt herself if necessary to realize the bond of affection she desires. Needs the same consideration and understanding from others.
Your Actual Problem
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on her resources. A feeling of powerlessness subjects her to agitation and acute distress. Tries to escape from this by relinquishing the struggle, and by finding peaceful and restful conditions in which to recuperate in an atmosphere of affection and security.

Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mates. But not Holly and Gerry.
Childhood sweethearts, they could finish each other's sentences and even when they fought, they laughed. No one could imagine Holly and Gerry without each other.
Until the unthinkable happens. Gerry's death devastates Holly. But as her 30th bithday looms, Gerry comes back to her. He left her a bundle of notes, gently guiding Holly back into her new life without him, each note signed 'P.S, I Love You'.
As the notes are gradually opened, and as the year unfolds, Holly is both cheered up and challenged. The man who knows her better than anyone sets out to teach her that life goes on. With some help from her friends, and her noisy and loving family, Holly finds herself laughing, crying, singing, dancing- and being braver than ever before.
Life is for living, she realises- but it always helps if there's an angel watching over you.

My brother in Sec 1 just showed off his progress report for last term to me...Well, he has the reason to show off...Afterall, he got a A1 for his literature!!!A1!!! I never got a distinction for my litersture in secondary school before...not even near enough to smell it what's more taste it...hiaz...i guess my parent's lit genes had all gone to him...my sec 3 brother is not really got in lit also...well, there's nothing i can do...he did fairly well in the other subjects except art...he has gotten a F9 for it...can you believe it? I can't...I thought you will not fail art if you have hand in your work on time...moreover, I have seen him doing his work and thought that it was not bad...apparently i was wrong and perhaps, I had a bad taste...or could it be because the teacher had too high the expectation...whatever the case is, i don't think my brother will take art in the future...

I feel so good today! A sense of accomplishment, a sense of achievement...one that is so overwhelming...i just calculated the number of hours i have completed for my nyaa cip...and it turn out that i'm left with only about 2 hours to complete! imagine, only two more hours to go...yeah! After that, i can start to do cip for my school... reflecting upon all these days where i have been today volunteer work, i have actually learnt a couple of things...patience and compassion are two of the things i have acquired. Of course the passion of serving the community keeps me going...i think that even though i started doing volunteer work because of the cca points. it develope the volunteering spirit in me and i always feel good about myself after volunteering...
Secondly, I'm so proud of my PW group members! We have finally completed the draft 1 of our report...We were very serious today when we met...and we spent the whole afternoon and evening at the library cafe to do our report...We stayed there until 9.30pm...we were all so tired when we parted for home...Our endurance, determination to finish the report are things that I'm truly proud of...I hope we will maintain like that and be serious in our work...

What a day to start school this week. It was really a long break from all the work and I finally had the chance to catch up on my work and beauty sleep...
I had quite an interesting day in school today. For GP, we did role-plays...being the advertising agency, production house and the media authourity. It was really a treat for us and a break from the usual GP lessons...
In the afternoon, I went to Biopolis with a few of my friends for the research attachment programme briefing as well as for a meet-the-mentor session. It was still early went we get there so we decided to get a bite at the Matrix Foodcourt. We decided on mango ice-kachang...Imagine! 4 pple sharing a bowl of ice-kachang...funny right?! Anyway, we did it... I also saw some of my friends from other jcs there as well...so, it was considered like a sort of gathering for us too...After the briefing session came the meet-the-mentor session..I was taken to IMCB at the Proteos building together with another girl, Sharon. We were each attached to one researcher and taken around the labs and to get to know the nature of our work. My mentor is a nice guy who make me feel relax. Everyone calls me S.K there. Anyway, we had quite a long talk and I was one of the last to leave IMCB... I was given some literature to read in order to get a rough overview of the field. I was given much antonomy as I get to come up with my own project (but if I can't, then I will have to do the one given and planned by them). In addition, he took me around the place and showed me the various machines, equipments and other places such as the pantry and the dark room...After the session, I am now more excited about the attachment. I can't wait for Nov 16 to arrive!!!

Trust In God
Trust In God
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God how could you do this to me!" he cried.
Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it :

If Only...
If only we have 48 hours a day
To finish our tutorials, assignments and projects
If only we can turn back time
To undo everything we wish we had not done
If only we have the courage to say a simple "sorry"
To people we have hurt deeply
If only we have the motivation to be the best that we can be
We would feel good about ourselves
If only this world is free of crimes and diseases
With people living happily with one another
Getting along well
Living together in peace
Without riots
Without wars
Without terrorism
This world that we are living in
Would certainly be a more pleasant place
I know it is clinche to say this
Let's make this world a better place for everyone
It just take an individual to get the ball rolling
To spread the good deeds
And soon the rest will follow suit
So what are you waiting for?
Stop reading
And let's get started!

Life goes on
Someone once said: "Life goes on"
Like it or not
Life is really short
The seconds tickle away quickly and quietly
Life goes on
Whether you are in the top 5 college or bottom 5
Life goes on
Whether you have lectures today or tutorials tommorrow
Life goes on
Whether there's class spirit and bonding
Life goes on
So long as you are alive, breathing
Until your last breathe...
Which after that, you will reunite with Father Lord in Heaven...
Watching over this world
Watching over all creatures on this world
Therefore, I urge you people to live each day to your fullest
Spread the love and joy to your friends and beloved!

God's Boxes
God's Boxes
I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."
We should consider all of our friends a blessing.
Send this to a friend today just to let them know you
are thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life.
A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end.
It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends.
But the treasure inside for you to see,
Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.

Midnight,
not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is shining alone.
In the lamplight the whithered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.
Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading Roses wither away
Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day Now Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn Through a
silence you feel you could cut with a knife Announces the cat who can now be
reborn
And come back to a different jellicle life Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the
meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again
Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin Sunlight, through the trees in the summer
Endless masquerading Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is shining alone.
In the lamplight the whithered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.
Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading Roses wither away
Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day Now Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn Through a
silence you feel you could cut with a knife Announces the cat who can now be
reborn
And come back to a different jellicle life Memory, turn your face to the moonlight

When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin Sunlight, through the trees in the summer
Endless masquerading Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

Finally! The end of the week has arrived! Today had been a great day for me...for once, we get to watch a show for GP lecture, Dead Poet Society...nice show, with a touching ending...In the evening, I went back to St Margs for the 162nd Speech Day...to receive prize...7 distinctions!!!I received the prize (a certificate and $25 Kinokuniya vochure) from the guest-of-honour of the night, Mrs Jane Iggoti Shanmugaratnam...In addition to the usual prizes they gave out, this year, for the first time, in loving memory of Mrs Lee, they give the Caroline Lee Trophy for the Most Outstanding Performing Arts Student...The performance was wonderful...songs, dances, band...the choir sang quite well...they sang Beauty of the Earth and the Benediction...After the performance, we were all excited to take pictures...

Lecture, lecture and more lecture...I had lectures for all the 3 sciences today...I was only half awake half-way through physics lecture...waves...for the starting part of chemistry lecture, i was hoping that the bell that signals the end of the day will ring soon when suddenly she said something that triggered my sleepy mind. I forgot what exactly did she say that make me laugh but I know that it was not really funny as my friends looked at me and commented that I had a weird sense of humour. I don't know why after that, she keep on making us laugh...i find the jokes funny...for instance when she was teaching us the various methods of calculating, she said that those who prefer the "Energy Cycle" method are people who like to cycle...haha and that those who aspire to drive would prefer to use the "Energy Level" method cause they will park their cars in a multi-level carpark. Haha...When she came to the algebraic method, she said that the mathematically inclined pple would prefer those methods and then she went on talking about a boy from the Brainest Kid who's really good in his mental sums...i don't quite see the link but nevertheless, I still laughed...haha... well, laughter is the best medicine afterall...

Isn't it weird to start the week with a Friday's timetable? As the college had missed too many Firdays, today's timetable is acutally a Friday's. As a result, I ended going home earlier than I would on a normal Monday. I was given choc. vochures to sell to help to raise funds for SAV and up till now, I have sold $40 wortth of choc vochures...isn't that wonderful? (and that is excluding my church friends and some other pple...) Afterall, who can resist the temptation of choc? I will also be going on a "choc shopping spree" tml to help my friends buy the choc...i think that would be a real fun...I had never walked into a choc shop and buting $20 worth of choc without hurting my pocket...they will be the ones paying for it and of course, they will be the ones eating it...but the fun lies in buying the choc...how many pple can actually buy choc without consideration for the cost and providing a service for others and having fun at the same time? Anyway, I am quit confident that the choc vochures will sell well and everyone would find it fun to sell those vochures...

27th Student Council Commendation
It's time that the 26th student council step down and really study for their "A"s... Afterall, they need to and had done so much for the school. To the 26th student councillors:You are a really wonderful group of pple who had and will continue to inspire me to learn, to lead, to serve. Good luck for your future endearvours and continue to be the light that shine and light up the paths of others. Thank you for being there.
Just as the 26th student council step down, the 27th student council step up and were commended at the St Andrew's Cathedral today. They had put in countless of hours of hardwork for today's commendation. All of them, and I mean ALL, were looking very neat and smart in their blazers. I'm really proud to have them as the student leaders of SAJC. I am sure that they will continue to uphold the tradition and the good name of the school. Let's hope and pray that they will do the correct things with the school and student body in mind and let's respect them for they have been given authority. Afterall, we are one big family of the Saints and together, we'll bring the school to greater heights, conquering all difficulties that come our way with the blessings of God.

Post, post common test
Common test is over about 2 weeks and I have gotten my results back...well, my results were quite okay and I feel that I should have studied harde. Well, it's too late to say that now, but I will definitely study harder for my promos...
GP- C6
Chinese- A2
Maths 9233- A
Biology- C
Chemistry- E
Physics- O
Well, at least I managed to secure 2As...Chinese was a pleasant surprise as I thought I did not really study it this year and what shocked me was that it was actually my compo that pull my grade up...Well, my maths is my strong subject, better than my sciences...should have taken F maths then...(it's too late now)... Anyway, this week is going to be a busy week...with a change in leadership everywhere (i mean the council and the CCAs). Friday is council commendation and we can go home after the commendation at 12 noon! Yeah! I'm certainly looking forward to that day...
I'm suppose to be doing research for my GP...ha! So I shall stop writing soon and do my research...btw, below is the lyrics to the song When You Believe...nice song, so enjoy and good night
When You Believe- Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey
Whitney
Many nights weive prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know thereis much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Itis hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
Mariah
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now Iim standing here
With heart so full
I canit explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought Iid say
Miriam and Tzipporah
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Itis hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Itis hard to kill

More about Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB)
I think I mention in my journal yesterday that I was selected for the research attachment programme during the Nov-Dec hols at IMCB and that I was really excited about it. After all, this is my second attempt to get into a reaserch programme this year (the first one was the Science Research Programme, SRP, which I think I failed the Aptitude Test). Well, MS and YW got into the programme as well, just too bad that we are all going to different research institutes...In order for me to "fit" into the research programme and the institute, not only do I have to read up on current resaecrh but I would also need to know more about IMCB. So, I surf the net and visited IMCB's website and found the following info: IMCB was established in 1987 at NUS. Mission:"to develop and foster a vibrant research culture for biological and biomedical sciences which will support the development of biotechnology for the human healthcare industry in Singapore". Location: IMCB is located on the university campus amidst the science and medical faculties. It is next to the National University Hospital, and close to the Singapore Science Parks I and II. IMCB is funded by the Agency for Science, Technology & Research (A*STAR), with some funding from industry and external granting agencies. Since 1987, IMCB has made great achievements and contributed much to the local research. It has gained global recognition and is continually doing so. Recently, a group of IMCB scientists is involved in the SARS research which made lots of findings. Libertas Laeta Parva Puella sign off...

What a wholesome week
What a busy two weeks it had been and it has been a long long time since i last wrote in. Now I shall update you guys out there the happenings that took place the last two week.
Last week was common test week. The things that I had studied during the holidays finally had the chance to be "released'! Ha! Well, if you ask me how common test was, I would regret and tell you that I should not have made so many careless mistakes! Urgh! It's always the careless mistakes that are costing me so many marks. Well, I going to work harder next time.
Just had my Chinese Oral today. It's sort of scary as one of my examiners was looking some strictly at I don't know what! The other one was more friendly. At least it's over now and I don't have to worry about it. Wait till the results come out!
Oh, by the way. I just received one piece of good news! I got into the research attacchment programme at IMCB!!! I thought I would not make it but haha...I've made it! So happy! The only minus point 5 weeks of Dec hols will be spent doing research and I will miss the Hawaii trip(if there is one) at the end of the year!!! But nevertheless, this is a wonderful opportunity for me to be exposed to the state-of-art laboraties. So excited and yet so sleepy...had a long day in school, what to do?! Time to sleep and dream...Good Night!
Last week was common test week. The things that I had studied during the holidays finally had the chance to be "released'! Ha! Well, if you ask me how common test was, I would regret and tell you that I should not have made so many careless mistakes! Urgh! It's always the careless mistakes that are costing me so many marks. Well, I going to work harder next time.

Evaluation of the June Hols
It makes perfect sense that once something is going to be over, one should do some reflections and thinking about it. Well, and so since the June holidays is coming to an end soon (and I mean real soon), I should reflect and think about it.
1st Week- Life Science Camp@SAJC: This first-ever 3-day Life Science Camp is a wonderful experience for me. Although I've attended several life science camps before, they are not as interesting as this one. The only pity is the duration. It is too short- only three days. The most interesting part of the camp is the field trip to the Health Sciences Authority and the hands-on practical on transferring mircoorganisms. Given another chnace, I would definitely sign-up for it again.
- SMO@NUS: The paper was a killer, well at least for me. I cannot do quite a lot of questions and I'm quite prepared toget a COP. Nevertheless, it's a wonderful experience and have certainly contributed to part of my academic curriculum.
2nd Week- Church Camp: It's a tradition for my church to hold camps for both children and youths during holidays. This year, we did not go to our usual Desaru Resort in JB. Instead, we spent our nights at Singapore's very own Pasir Ris Resort! This year's camp is much more interesting compared to previous years in the sense that the youth groups get to play the role of caretakers to our younger members and campers. It's a good thing that their parents trust us to take care of their little, precious darlings. During the five days, I've learnt to be more independent and responsible, not only to myself, but also to my "babies".
3rd&4th Week- Study for Common Test: These two weeks were really crucial and I really had no choice but to study and mug for days. Luckily, I'm almost done with studying and now, I only hope that what I have studied remain in my head and not to get expelled out. I believe that if you do your best, God will do the rest.
Enjoy the rest of your hols guys!

Brace yourself for a music journal...
Hey!!!Guess what? I just bought Avril Lavigne's lastest album-Under My Skin! First, when I heard the songs over the radio and tv, I thought it was about the same as the first album- Let Go...but well, after listening to it, I guess it is not so after all...it has got 12 tracks in all and my favourite song is track no. 9, Who knows. I'm going to explain why in a moment's time and why you should buy this CD! Below is my music review:
Song: Who Knows
Artise: Avril Lavigne
Duration: Not sure
What is the song about?
This song is written by Avril Lavigne herself on the unpredictability of life and how we do not know what our future holds for us. It also encourage us to "live today like it's my last day". It push us and encourage us further by saying that "Life is worth living for" and that "there's always a brand new day".
Why do I like this song?
Well, the reason I like this song is because first of all, the lyrics. The lyrics are not only meaningful, but it reflect the reality of life and this world. Although the reality of life is so cruel and that there are challenges we'll have to face and overcome, we should do it with determination and live life fulfillingly and not take the easy way out.
Secondly, the tune of the music is simply fanastic. It is not soothing but it is chatchy! I bet it will keep you awake the whole night! Believe it or not, it is the best buy in this season of the Singapore Great Sale! (P.S: I don't get any commission from the sales of Avril Lavigne's CDs!?Ha!)
Who Knows
Yeah, yeah
Yeah-eah, yeah
Yeah-eah, yeah
Why do look so familiar
I could swear that I have seen your face before
I think I like that you seem sincere
I think I like to get to know you a little bit more
[Chorus]
I think there's something more, life's worth living for
Who knows what could happen.
Do what you do, just keep on laughing
One thing's true, there's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah-eah, yeah,
Yeah-eah, yeah
How do you always have an opinion
And how do you always find the best way to compromise
We don't need to have a reason
We don't need anything
We're just wasting time
[Chorus x2]
I think there's something more, life's worth living for
Who knows what could happen.
Do what you do, just keep on laughing
One thing's true, there's always a brand new day
Who knows what could happen.
Do what you do, just keep on laughing
One thing's true, there's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
Find yourself, cause I can't find you
Be yourself, who are you?
Find yourself, cause I can't find you
Be yourself, who are you?
Who knows what could happen.
Do what you do, just keep on laughing
One thing's true, there's always a brand new day
So you go and make it happen
Do your best just keep on laughing
It's all on you, there's always a brand new day
[Chorus]
Who knows what could happen.
Do what you do, just keep on laughing
One thing's true, there's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day

Be yourself, who are you?
Find yourself, cause I can't find you
Be yourself, who are you?
Who knows what could happen.
Do what you do, just keep on laughing
One thing's true, there's always a brand new day
So you go and make it happen
Do your best just keep on laughing
It's all on you, there's always a brand new day
[Chorus]
Who knows what could happen.
Do what you do, just keep on laughing
One thing's true, there's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day

Choir philic
I have been a member of the school choir since my secondary school days...In secondary school, it seemed like everyone don't care about the progress of the choir(I don't know the situation now...but it can only be better). Choir time means slacking time or chatting time. Everyone seemed to be doing their own things. It is certainly not difficult to find pple reading or doing their homework and chatting. Well, i myst admit that I was guilty of that too. However, I soon learnt the meaning and the key to become a contributing memeber of the group or club is discipline. Discipline to attend every single meeting or practice. Discipline to listen and carry out instructions. At the end of the day, the take home message is discipline in all aspects. The reason I continue to join choir as a CCA in college is because of the exposure I will get by being part of the choir. Exposure to compettions, to the various performing arts forms and of course the chance to attend performances and to perform for others. However, it did not take a very long time before I realise that SA choir can offer more than what I thought it can. Being a small choir, the members are close knit and everyone seems to know one another quite well. Whenever we are moving from 1 LT to another, we will greet each other with a chirpy smile that will warm our hearts and last fpr a whole day. I think I'm getting choir philic and I don't merely enjoys singing in the choir. It's the company and friends that I truly enjoyed most.
To the choir members out there: Treasure the time we have together and hopefully, we will have the time of our lives and bring choir to a greater heights.

This term has been...
SAJC...the next phase of my life......
Upon entering college life, I've widen my perspective, network of friends, meet new teachers and people and learnt to adapt to new surroundings more quickly than ever. College life has been so far quite hectic(I presume it will get faster next term and next year). Apart the whole new lecture-tutorial system, we are required to do Project Work (which I must confess is a big headache for me!). In addition, we have to support and cheer SAJC on and we also have a whole series of actitivites lined up for us during the holidays (and they expect us to do well in the common test!) Well, despite all these, I like college life(or should I say, SA life?). Well, being a Saint means that we are supportive of our school in all aspects, be it academically or in sporting events. Just last Wednesday, the whole school went to National Stadium to support our scoccer team in the finals with 5-year champhion, VJC. Even in the jaws of defeat, we were still cheering non-stop. This is what I call good sportsmanship and "Saintship"...Maybe it's because of this that we won VJC in cricket this morning to emerge as the "A division" Champhion...No doubt this year has been a good year for SAJC, I hope that we will continue to strive on and pray that the Lord will be merciful to us. Up and on Saints!

Perfect-Simple Plan
[Verse 1]
Hey, Dad, look at me
Think back, and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time
Doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapproved all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for
You can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me
[Chorus]
‘Cause we lost it all
Nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
[Verse 2]
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care any more
And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's all right
[Chorus]
‘Cause we lost it all
And nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
[Bridge]
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
And nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you
But you don't understand
[Chorus (2x)]
‘Cause we lost it all
And nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Hey, Dad, look at me
Think back, and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time
Doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapproved all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for
You can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me
[Chorus]
‘Cause we lost it all
Nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Why women cry?
A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said:
"When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that manytimes comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
